LIVES: Home

Welcome to the LIVES Website                           

The Lincolnshire Integrated Voluntary Emergency Service (LIVES) is one of the largest volunteer organisations in the UK providing a pre-hospital emergency care service to any person or persons suffering an acute medical problem or injury across the county of Lincolnshire.

calls attended by our members include:

* Road Traffic Accidents

* Agricultural and Industrial Injury

* Life threatening medical problems

* Cardiac Arrests

* Sports related injuries

All members of LIVES are volunteers who respond in their own time to 999 calls received via East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) control. LIVES members do not receive payment for this service.

The advantage of LIVES Responders is their community based location which allows a rapid response to most emergencies. In addition to responding to emergencies, LIVES also has non-operational volunteers who assist with fund raising and co-ordination of the service. LIVES works in partnership with the Ambulance service and is a recognised leader in best practice and training for the provision of emergency care.

LIVES volunteers come from the following groups:

         * Lay Volunteers without prior medical knowledge

         * Healthcare Professionals who work within the Health Service

         * Volunteers with expertise in other areas such as fund-raising and IT

Patient Satisfaction

“My husband had great difficulty breathing. I was very stressed, all the people who came were wonderful, and helped us when we needed it.  I can’t speak too highly of them.”
